a sort of amuse bouche from lao sze chuan in chinatown... cabbage and chilli sauce? anyway it was yummy.
Amuses Bouches
Left to Right:
Pork
Covered in horseradish (or was it mustard?) foam on a stick.
Notes: I found this one slightly revolting - it was the texture of the foam. Nasty.
Cucumber
Cucumber gelatin ball with oysters.
Notes: Interesting. For an oyster-hater, this would be pure hell.
Scallop Maki
Scallop wrapped in mushrooms and nori.
Notes: Not bad - the nori was rather strong. Frechon seems to have a fascination with seaweed, which appeared in everything from the bread to the butter served with one of my courses.
Foie Gras
Sandwiching smoked eel.
Notes: The best of the lot. My friend commented that it tasted like bologna. I'm not sure about bologna, but it did taste like smoked deli meat.

Amuse:
- smoked sable fish with parsnip, parsnip veloute, smoked eel with parsnip.
The amuse was very well executed, although I was a little surprised to see two kinds of smoked fish in a parsnip-themed pre-appetizer. The taste of both fish-parsnip bites was very complex, but my favorite was, without any doubt, the veloute - texture was picture perfect, it was rich, but not greasy or even buttery, seasoning was exceptional, although not at all aggressive. Delightful.

Toshiba has my mother boardless computer for a while, two weeks in warranty hell so far, so I am experimenting with other alternative technology I have on hand...Two shots taken w/ iPhone, #Camera+, edited in #Snapseed, merged w/ #ImageBlender, sent to iCloud, downloaded to Google Docs on my ChromeBook and finished with Googles powerful online PS clone #Pixlr
Amazing 21st Century technology that was merely science fiction only a few short years ago, now at my finger tips and I use it to photoshop pictures of my dog standing on a car roof...
We will most certainly amuse ourselves to death...
Oh well, time to Lurch Methodically Through The Motions For Yet Another Day, maybe I'll post another dog photo:
